Summer is early and the bluebells are in full bloom. Why not visit Silent Valley Nature Reserve in Cwm, Ebbw Vale and stroll through this natural beech woodland believed to be the highest in the UK.

Blaenau Gwent lies on the fringe of the Brecon Beacons and at the Head of the Valleys region of Southern Wales. It is an area of startling contrasts from steeply wooded valleys in the south to open remote moorland in the north. This rich tapestry boasts a wealth of history from the Bronze Age, catching glimpses of medieval times and a profusion of industrial heritage sites that can be explored on foot, cycle, horseback or car.

With so much history to discover in the area, a visit to Blaenau Gwent will not leave you disappointed.

There is great number of places to visit, stay and enjoy.
